Ryder Jacoby Conroe TX Death and Obituary – With hearts full of sorrow and love, the family of Ryder James Jacoby shares the news of his passing on May 2, 2025, at the age of 17. A beloved son, brother, and friend, Ryder’s life, though brief, was filled with meaningful moments, lasting connections, and a presence that touched all who knew him. His death by suicide has left a deep and aching void in the lives of those who loved him, but his memory will forever live on in their hearts.
Ryder was a bright and sensitive soul, whose thoughtful nature and gentle spirit made an impression on everyone he met. He grew up in Conroe, Texas, where he attended school and built close friendships through shared laughter, late-night conversations, and a love for music, gaming, and the outdoors. Ryder was known for his deep sense of empathy—often the one who could sense when others were struggling and offer quiet comfort without needing to say a word.
He had an introspective heart and a curious mind. Whether sketching in a notebook, exploring new technology, or simply spending time with his siblings, Ryder radiated a quiet strength and a kindness that transcended words. His presence brought peace to his family, who now grieve the unimaginable loss of someone so deeply loved.
Ryder is survived by his devoted parents, Brian Jacoby and Samantha Jacoby, who will always hold their son’s memory close. He is also lovingly remembered by his sister, Cadence, with whom he shared a unique and irreplaceable bond, full of shared adventures and private jokes. In his blended family, Ryder found even more love and connection—he is also survived by his stepmother, Kristi, and his stepsiblings, Addyson and Hudson, who cherished him as their own.
To lose Ryder at such a young age is a tragedy that words cannot fully express. Yet in the sacred silence of farewell, we release him into the embrace of eternity, trusting that the love he gave so freely will continue to echo through the lives he touched. May his spirit find peace, and may his family and friends find comfort in knowing that Ryder’s light will never truly fade.
The family invites all who knew and loved Ryder to gather for a Celebration of Life on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Crossroads Baptist Church, located at 5000 College Park Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77384. The service will honor Ryder’s life, reflect on the joy he brought to others, and provide space to mourn, remember, and begin healing.
In this time of profound grief, the family welcomes those who wish to express their support to leave a message of sympathy in the guestbook on Ryder’s memorial page. These messages of love and remembrance are a comfort and a reminder that Ryder’s life, though tragically brief, had an impact that will be remembered and cherished.
To honor Ryder’s memory, his family encourages open conversations about mental health and the importance of seeking help. No one should struggle alone, and no one’s pain is too small to matter. Ryder’s story, while painful, can also serve as a beacon—a call to care more deeply, listen more intently, and love more openly.
As the sun sets on this chapter of Ryder’s life, we are reminded that love is eternal. Though he is no longer with us in body, his essence lives on—in the rustling leaves, in the songs that moved him, in the hearts of those who carry him forward.
Rest in peace, dear Ryder. You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.
